  1. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    I didn't say they made the goal every year. But when you have a situation where women are encouraged, rewarded, and paid to have huge families, girls are told that it is their duty to have children, (even befiore they really understand the concept) school books, children's books and movies all...
  2. The Fourth Lectern - A 2010 Election TL

    Maybe if it goes back to post 1900 it will stay there.
  3. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Thanks for the kind words. Yes, there will, although Theater of Operations may be a bit of an overstatement.
  4. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Which was exactly the point.
  5. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Reich hasn't gone quite so far as to to order up "Blond Female, teenage, attractive, 5,000 each". Each shipment of "guest workers" has both men and women. In each monthly arrival there will be some females who meet the criteria. They are then diverted from whatever project that was their...
  6. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The Allies are perfectly happy with the Swedish position, which leans quite nicely the Allied direction. The same for the Swiss. From a logistical perspective it is useful for the Iberian Peninsula to be actively on the Allies side, this is less true for Sweden, and Switzerland is, of course...
  7. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    Russia is the historic country. The USSR more or less disappeared, and some of the largest Russian cities, while still part of the population figure, are under Reich control. The Inner Reich is OTL Germany circa 1938.
  8. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    What is left of Russia is down below 90 million, less than that if you subtract the area under U.S. "protection". One of the reasons that Molotov was so unpopular was that he had to pretty much take two out every five 18 year olds and send them to the Reich as labor. Russia's population is...
  9. Had a War between the Allies and the Soviets erupted in 1945, who would win?

    This is actually a fairy well trod subject here, for obvious reasons. As is almost always the case, the answer is never quite as clear cut as it seems. In 1945 the Red Army was the most powerful fighting force the world had ever seen. Extremely armor heavy, roughly 80% motorized, tough as...
  10. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    The strikes had a couple of reasons. The first was pretty much a lost cause from minute one, namely to keep Molotov in control of a decent part of the Eurasian landmass, at least until the war was over. The Allies were really hoping that they wouldn't need to ALL of humpty Dumpty back...
  11. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    If its Saturday, it must be an update! Comments? 49 Viewed in a vacuum, the March 12, 1959, USAF nuclear strikes against the three suspected air bases that launched the Krasnoyarsk Raid is often seen as a rather severe case of over-bombing or of using a sledgehammer to kill a single ant...
  12. How easily could the Pacific War have flopped for Japan? And to what results?

    There is no way to get the Battle Line out to sea in an hour. It couldn't complete that evolution in an hour with two days notice. Nevada managed to get underway because she was the "duty ship" and she had steam up. The rest of the ships were tied into the shore electrical supply with their...
  13. What if the Bismarck had surrended?

    This is effectively impossible with modern warships. The risk is too great to accept the surrender, especially from what is more or less a a steel island full of guns (many people forget that surrendering isn't an automatic, the other side has to accept it). There is also the difficulty in...
  14. Why no Navaho Code speaker copys?

    Well, we did make it to page two. Better than average.
  15. Why no Navaho Code speaker copys?

    Haida might have been a good candidate in that case, assuming some German Jesuit didn't spend 30 years with them.
  16. Why no Navaho Code speaker copys?

    As I noted earlier, Navaho is similar to Basque. It has almost no commonality with other "tribal" languages in the Southwest, much less the rest of North America. That wa one of the things that made it so useful. As far a written version of the language being available that was not an issue...
  17. 'Wehrmacht' tank development post WW2

    Maus, House, who cares? I want the RATT!
  18. Why no Navaho Code speaker copys?

    The thing about the Navaho language was that there were only a handful of non Navaho ON EARTH that spoke the language, none of whom were from any Axis country. That made it just about unique, even among Native American Languages. The language is also very tonal in nature, as such non Native...
  19. The Anglo/American - Nazi War

    It is a dozen of the big bombers.
